As the tides change for the country, tourism has emerged as the second biggest industry.

Alex documented every step of his way exploring this Central American nation known as the “the land of lakes and volcanoes”. From romping over glistening white beaches to sand boarding at a caldera of a volcano to breaking swells aboard a surfboard and submerging with the lovable creatures of the underwater, Alex travels to small charming towns in between to the embrace of the smiling locals. The motion scenes he captures presents us with a picturesque evidence at how Nicaragua grants us travelers – a new destination to experience new and wonderful things on the road. All the highs of his cross-country journey were all captured on his camera and documented perfectly on this three-minute video.
